I've tried many popcorn crunch recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of popcorn, caramel, and nuts is perfect.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious! I used white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and it turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of popcorn, but this recipe changed my mind! The caramel is so good and the popcorn is so crunchy. I will definitely be making this again.
